Mark Goddard c9cc6f4064 docs: add variable for current branch
This allows us to include the correct branch when cloning repositories
in documentation.

Method adapted from OpenStack Ansible documentation. A backslash is
added on purpose before repository URLs to bypass highlighting which
makes them less readable (dark text on dark background).

Vagrant
=======
Kayobe provides a Vagrantfile that can be used to bring up a virtual machine
for use as a development environment. The VM is based on the `centos/8
<https://app.vagrantup.com/centos/boxes/8>`_ CentOS 8 image, and
supports the following providers:
* VirtualBox
* VMWare Fusion
The VM is configured with 4GB RAM and a 20GB HDD. It has a single private network in addition
to the standard Vagrant NAT network.
Preparation
===========
First, ensure that Vagrant is installed and correctly configured to use
the required provider. Also install the following vagrant plugins::
vagrant plugin install vagrant-reload vagrant-disksize
If using the VirtualBox provider, install the following vagrant plugin::
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
Note: if using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, you may be unable to install any plugins. To
work around this install the upstream version from www.virtualbox.org.
Usage
=====
Later sections in the development guide cover in more detail how to use the
development VM in different configurations. These steps cover bringing up and
accessing the VM.
Clone the kayobe repository:
.. parsed-literal::

Wait for the VM to boot, then SSH in::
vagrant ssh
